Antonio Franchini

Name: Antonio Franchini Gender: Male Age: 17 Grade: N/A (homeschooled by hired tutors) Extra Curricular Activity: N/A (homeschooled by hired tutors) School: N/A (homeschooled by hired tutors)

Appearance: Somewhere in the middle between ugly and handsome, Antonio has greasy black hair and brown eyes in a pasty white face. He's about 5'9 and has a thin build. He usually wears formal, clean attire (such as suits), and on the day he was kidnapped he was wearing a black vest (white undershirt), a red tie, black track pants and leather shoes.

Biography: The son of Luigi Franchini, head of the Franchini Mafia Family (one of the most prominent Mafia families in New York), Antonio grew up around money and violence for most of his life, with his uncle also being a member of the Franchini family (one of his father's hitmen). When he was about 6, the cold and cruel Don Franchini (who genuinely cared about his son) hired the best tutors in the state to teach him basic school subjects (Science, Math, English etc.) while having his uncle teach him how to use firearms and other weapons. By 9, he could effectively use most hand weapons (it wouldn't be until 12 that he could fire a shotgun or assault rifle without the recoil putting him on his ass). His family controlled most aspects of life and crime in New York (drug trafficking, racketeering, rigging boxing matches, bribing and killing officials, you name it, the Franchini Family probably had a hand in it), and Antonio enjoyed living as the son of a Mafia leader. When the SOTF act started up, Don Franchini and his thugs controlled the bets on the winner, agreeing to split the profits with Danya's terrorist group. Meanwhile, Antonio attentively watched it, enjoying the Program with a surreal bloodlust (though he could seperate himself from the television). Of course, eventually his father tried to keep money for himself, and that angered Danya. When Antonio was allowed to come on a "business deal" with four of his father's thugs, Danya struck. Several terrorists ambushed the group, killing all four thugs and tranquilizing Antonio, who had been armed with a Beretta 9mm pistol (which was obviously taken from him) and killed one. Now he's been thrown on the SOTF island as punishment to the Franchini Family for breaking a deal.

Other: Being the son of a Don lends him certain advantages (such as the fact that he's used to death, knows how to use guns, and has quite the mean streak). He's also ruthless, rude, cunning, and all around fearsome (even Don Franchini's men don't want him mad, nor does Don Franchini himself, for that matter.). Might believe that his father will attempt to rescue him, though it may or may not be necessary. Though it's completely irrelevant to SOTF, he also views women as useless creatures good only as sex objects.

Assigned Weapon: Potassium Dissolving Tablets Conclusion: Let's get one thing straight. The mafia, the US Government, even MADD - none of those organizations can scare me, and none can even touch me. The mafia wants to have a go at me, they can go ahead, but they'll have to find me first. As for Antonio, he looks like he'll be a motivator for certain, which is kind of a good thing, being as we have so many useless children running around...

Other/Trivia

 * Antonio was inspired by Tony Montana from the 1983 version of Scarface.


 * In every post he was in, Antonio thought or said at least one curse word.


 * When they first met, Neville Eden instantly disliked Antonio because, oddly enough, of the formal clothes he was wearing ( and Neville himself reflects on the fact that it's an odd reason to dislike someone).


 * In the same confrontation, it's revealed shortly before the gunfight that kills both Antonio and Neville that the Wildey Pistol is Luigi Franchini's (Antonio's father) favorite gun and has his own Wildey with him at all times.


 * Slayer once considered renaming Antonio's father to "Montezzo Franchini", but the v1 threads were read-only by the time he decided this. "Luigi" was actually a placeholder until he could come up with a name.


 * In a retcon of Antonio's history, Slayer has placed one of his v3 characters, named Montezzo Valtieri, as a close childhood friend of the psychotic mafia child, though Valtieri himself is not associated with the mob otherwise. They met when Montezzo helped Antonio in a street brawl against some punks from Montezzo's elementary school.

Your Thoughts
''Whether you were a fellow handler in SOTF or just an avid reader of the site, we'd like to know what you thought about Antonio Franchini. What did you like, or dislike, about the character? Let us know here!'' Slayer
 * In retrospect, I don't think it was necessary to have him as foul mouthed as he was (he literally cursed in every post he was in). As it went on, it got kinda campy.-
